P-61 buffs

[allynow]

Hi,
I'm Allison Gordon, P-61 pilot Al Gordon's niece. I saw this posting about my uncle and wanted to offer that I wrote and published a detailed wartime memoir for Al entitled, "War in the Night Sky." I'd love to learn more and know how to share this memoir with a wider audience than just family. Any suggestions?
